The question on my mind these days:
Which is better?
- ...being the blissfully ignorant fool
- ...being au courant -- fully cognizant, but conflicted
I don't know. I think that as much as being completely aware can fuck with your mind and be really hard at times, at least nothing takes you by surprise -- and it's less of a fall if things start crashing. And, in the end, ignorance is exactly what the word implies. So, I should stop letting it bug me so much. I should also probably shut up now.
Life is mostly work, class, and "Pippin" these days. This is where the shameless plug ensues:
Come see...
"Pippin" University of Indianapolis - Ransburg Auditorium
Friday, October 8, 8:00
Saturday, October 9, 8:00
Sunday, October 10, 3:00
Friday, October 22, 8:00
Saturday, October 23, 8:00
Anyway... I have to go private tutor now. Then, class... work... and rehearsal. This shouldn't be a surprise.

"...Must be your skin that I'm sinking in. Must be for real 'cause now I can feel. And I didn't mind, it's not my kind. It's not my time to wonder why. Everything gone white, and everything's grey. Now you're here. Now you're away. I don't want this. Remember that. I'll never forget where you're at. Don't let the days go by. Glycerine. Glycerine. I'm never alone. I'm alone all the time. Are you at one, or do you lie? We live in a wheel where everyone steals. But, when we rise it's like strawberry fields. If I treated you bad, you bruise my face. Couldn't love you more, you got a beautiful taste. Don't let the days go by. Could have been easier on you. I couldn't change, though I wanted to. Should have been easier - the three - our old friend fear, and you, and me. Glycerine. Glycerine. Don't let the days go by. Glycerine. Don't let the days go by. Glycerine. Glycerine. Glycerine. Glycerine. I needed us more when we wanted us less. I could not kiss, just regress. It might just be clear, simple, and plain. That's just fine. That's just one of my names. Don't let the days go by. Could've been easier on you, you, you. Glycerine. Glycerine..."
